600 West 113th Street, known in Columbia-speak as Nussbaum for its location above Nussbaum and Wu, is a residence hall that was converted from an apartment building in 2003. Floors 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 are occupied by undergraduates, while the remaining floors are occupied by UAH tenants and some private tenants. UAH tenants include graduate and General Studies students.
Contents
Facilities
Each floor has a central hallway and four suites, although many suite doors are left permanently open. Many of the A and D suites and the B and C suites have connecting doorways. All rooms have hardwood floors. There are two tiny lounges in the building, giving it a generally claustrophobic feel.
B and C suites share a large kitchen. A suites have smaller kitchens. D suites have very small kitchens.
There is a laundry room in the basement that is free for all students. Unlike many other dorms *cough cough Carman*, people don't typically take your wet clothes out of the dryers if you're 5 minutes late to get them. However, the basement level of Nuss will never fail to great you with an assembly of semi-dead roaches.
